There was a change in leadership and the new leader didn't see boxing as a priority.

In late 2014, arly 15, HBO was invested in a series focusing on boxing. Specifically on the comeback, from alcoholism, of two former fighters. One had been a world champion, the other had tried twice. Two fighters we're being brought in from out of town to train in LA- a gym in East LA, and at the Wild Card West.

The talk at the time was of a huge commitment to boxing but there was a change in leadership and by August of 15 the whole program was dead. That was the start of the finish.
